Inside the Dynamics of Celebrity Co-Parents: How Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner and More Amicable Exes Make it Work
2 hours ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Just because the romance has fizzled doesn't mean a relationship can't still remain. This is especially true for divorced celebrities with children, who (along with every other non-Hollywood couple) must navigate the tricky waters of dun, dun, dun... co-parenting! We have amicable exes like Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner to thank for proving it's totally possible to let bygones be bygones and come together for the sake of the little ones. Despite coming up on the two-year mark since Ben and Jen announced their separation, the Justice League star thanked his co-parent Jen for always supporting him and caring for their three kids while he sought professional treatment for alcohol »
Rumor: Batman Script Likely Up For Full Rewrite, More Delays
3 hours ago | LRMonline.com | See recent LRM Online news »
It appears that there are more rumors surrounding The Batman's delay, from some very credible sources. We have already reported rumors that the film could be delayed, as seen here, but now SlashFilm is reporting that the script will get a full rewrite, and some fans may be worried that Deathstroke will not even be included. This would completely sadden a certain reporter here, who happens to be writing this article, but hey, life goes on.
Before we get into this, I would like to address the problems Ben Affleck has been having as of late. There is no need for specifics, but there are two types of people in this world; the ones that realize they need help, and the ones that do not. I applaud Mr. Affleck for seeking help, and I am sure he will get back in true form before we even realize it. If »

Sad Keanu 2: why The Matrix without Reeves would be a journey down the wrong rabbit hole
6 hours ago | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The classic cyberpunk flick is getting a reboot without the everydude who seemed to embody its entire worldview. Can somebody wake us up from this nightmare?
It’s doubtful any other actor in Hollywood could have inspired such outpourings of motherly concern as Keanu Reeves a few years back, purely on the basis of a single paparazzi shot of the Point Break star sitting on a park bench contemplating a sandwich, in a pose suggesting quiet but abject misery. Ben Affleck’s own “sad Keanu” moment a few years later, during publicity for the execrable Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, was the source of mean-minded hilarity, but the sight of Reeves caught in a freeze frame of apparent tristesse just made us want to cuddle him.

The Batman Won't Begin Shooting Until 2018?
6 hours ago | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
The Batman finally has a great team in place, and all of the right pieces are there for Warner Bros. to make a great solo movie about the Caped Crusader. It just may not happen as soon as fans want it to. Director Matt Reeves is officially signed on to direct the movie, but because of his commitments to Planet of the Apes, he won't be able to start any sort of work on The Batman until at least June.
According to Variety's Justin Kroll via Twitter, Matt Reeves is contracted to work on War for the Planet of the Apes until at least the end of June. Since the movie doesn't come out until July 14, it seems likely that the director will probably have to be doing press right up until the movie comes out, so July seems possibly more realistic in terms of really being able to dive into The Batman. »

It doesn’t look like The Batman will get a release in 2018
7 hours ago | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
It doesn’t look good for The Batman at the moment. The word on the street – we mean, the internet – is that the stand-alone Dark Knight film will not get its release in 2018. The reasons are allegedly because of new director Matt Reeves’ commitments to finishing off War For The Planet Of The Apes, the new big-budget sequel over at 20th Century Fox.
Variety’s Justin Kroll took to Twitter to explain.
Hearing Matt Reeves contracted to work on Apes till at least end of June, so production on Batman likely not starting till 2018

Ben Affleck yesterday confirmed that he has completed a stint in rehab, and released the following statement via his Facebook account. After this went public a source told EW that the treatment “didn’t affect his involvement in The Batman” and work is still underway on the scripts.

Sources Claim The Batman’s Script Is Now Being Rewritten From Scratch
7 hours ago | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Citing sources close to Warner Bros., /Film reports that The Batman‘s script is now being rewritten from scratch ahead of a production start in 2018.
This alleged tidbit arrives on the heels of yesterday’s brief status report, which also stressed that Matt Reeves has no intention of meeting with potential casting members until at least July, in order to lend the writer-director some much-needed breathing space between War For the Planet of the Apes and the Caped Crusader’s next solo outing. On paper, it makes a lot of sense; The Batman has been thrust into something of a media maelstrom in recent months, with disconcerting reports suggesting that Ben Affleck himself was ready to bow out of the beleaguered project, so the decision to place the superhero flick on ice for at least a few months ought to steady the ship.

"There's a certain shared life experience that is tough for someone else who's not in this industry to kind of wrap their head around," Evans explains. "Letting someone go to work with someone for three months and they won't see them. It really, it certainly puts the relationship to the test."
